Hello Melissa, My name is Melissa as well. I lost my brother in Haditha on October 17, 2006. I have also been married for 8 years , and have 3 children,ages 13,7 and 4. My brother was a 2nd lt. in the USMC... He had only been in Iraq for 3 weeks. He had just graduated from the citadel and got married. He left behind his 1 year old daughter and a baby on the way. I am still trying to deal with the loss of my brother on a minute by minute basis. I have not found that thing that so many people talk about that has been their escape. I find it gets harder as the days pass. I think the reality is beginning to sink in. I am hoping to find comfort with the people in this group as they are the only ones who truly understand. He was my only sibling. ..I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. I realize that is has not been very long. I hope that sending your cards is helping you, because as I'm sure you know... that means so much to to people in our shoes. Good for you!
